The formations of 47 are in the hard with two perilous displacements for the VAB and the ABC. For the others, we play at home but against well-ranked opponents.
Match of the day: Villeneuve BC (4th) – Real Chalossais (6th)
“We missed the match. We defended badly and the gunners of Valence-Condom took the opportunity to investigate. We have to recover quickly because the opponent of the day, Réal Chalossais is on a good dynamic”, admits Léo Sansot, the Villeneuvois coach. It will take a great VBC to win against the Landes team which dominated the leader from Dacquois last weekend. It will not be a health ballad for the proteges of President Ribes.
Beware of this team, which can catch fire if left to play too much. We are waiting for a reaction from Champie, Diouf, Gary, Rodriguez and Iglésias to name only the top scorers. For this, it will be necessary to regain control of the last meetings, the one that gives confidence to the group and makes it possible to successfully lead the debates until the final outcome.
BC Layrac Astaffort (14th) – Toulouse BC 2 (8th)
The BCLA has only one leitmotif, that of winning the game and thus of joining the pack of teams in difficulty in this group of N3. Well in the game for several meetings (victories in Valence and against VAB, defeat by one point in Tursan), Fred Albisua’s troupe in his Layrac room must win against the Toulouse reservists, a young, dangerous, euphoric formation since the return of the truce of the confectioners.
Coteau du Luy (2nd) – Agen BC (12th)
It’s a perilous trip for the Agens who have been blowing cold or hot since the start of the season. Go face the number 2 in his hostile room of Monségur will not be a cakewalk and the Abbassi, Chailly, Kastratovic and their teammates will have to raise their level of the game to hope for a good result. However, the guys from the prefecture will not travel to Landes land as an expiatory victim, they will play their game without complex. A victory in Landes would be a feat that would open the doors to maintaining them.
Tursan Chalosse (11th) – Val d’Albret Basket (10th)
Here is a meeting under high tension between two formations which have the same number of points with guys from the VAB winning three points in the first leg who will have to confirm the success obtained in the room of Barbaste. The result of this Saturday has a double impact: first to win to get away from the red zone but also to take the very important point average at the time of the final count. The good performance of the last meeting should allow William Ramadour’s group to regain the confidence that is so important during these high-intensity meetings.
CTC AC2B Pays Agenais (5e) – Valence-Condom (7e)
When we ask the Layrac coach Benoît Derusseau about the rest of the championship, he designates the formation of Valence-Condom as the team which should climb the ladder towards the podium of the group. He may not be completely wrong after the brilliant Gers success against Villeneuvois, it is true for absent subscribers that Saturday. Attention Colayracais, listen to your coach. You must raise the intensity slider and find the AC2B at the start of the championship to leave no chance to this opponent who worries your coach.
